Speaker 1 (00:00):
Andrew.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
This offensive line today really had to go on scatterable
of coach grinding out the yardage, and your quarterback we're
running pretty crazy legs as well.
Speaker 1 (00:07):
You got to feel good about the performance.
Speaker 3 (00:09):
Yeah, it was great as a team effort. Takes all
eleven to run the ball like that. Jackson made a
lot of plays with his legs. All our running backs
rain hard, and we just you know, considered to fight
the whole way through.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
What was the difference in this four quarter performance as
opposed to maybe some of the others we've seen this year.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Just execute as offense. We didn't turn the ball over.
Defense got turnovers and that was kind of the keys
that we wanted for this week. Control with the line
of scrimmage and you got the results were great.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
What is it like for you?
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Was an offensive lineman when dark sees a little pressure,
starts running around but back there, and then all of
a sudden he takes off and he gains yardage.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
What does that do for you?
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Guys?
Speaker 3 (00:43):
It's live by the sword, dot by the sword. He's
a mobile quarterback, so especially at home, we can hear
the crowd get loud once he starts to scramble, So
We just try to strain as much as we can
because we know he can make plays for us.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
Also, how much is it a motivator when Scott gets
those dirty yards? I mean he starts grinding and outing away.
It may not be pretty, but it's very effective.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
As a physical back.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
He's a football guy, that's how he runs, and it
gives us juice on offense.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Finally, what does this mean to this team to knock
off the dreaded Philadelphia Eagles after getting off to a
one and four start.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
Yeah, this is the expectation that we have for ourselves.
We go to practice every week to prepare, to get ready.
It's a big game like this, to win at home,
it's amazing And thanks you're talking.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
About and Jackson got up.
Speaker 4 (01:27):
From an attitude perspective, I can't help but think, like
the two guys their rookies.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
They haven't been part of the losses that you guys
have been part of, and.
Speaker 4 (01:35):
I wonder if there's like a naivete to that.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
I think they both just love football.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
Obviously, there's a lot of distractions that come with being
in New York being a rookie. A lot of things
have overcome, but they've done a great job of just
focusing on playing and they've done a good job doing
that and it's gonna they're only gonna get better.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Have they added an edge?
Speaker 3 (01:55):
I would say they both played physical. I think that's
that puts stress on the other teams as juice as
an offense, So I think they've done a good job
on that.
Speaker 4 (02:02):
There's so many games where you know where the stadium
has been emptied out and it's been a full of
Eagles fans at the end. How nice is it to
hear the let's go Giants chance and and for a
gain to end this way?
Speaker 1 (02:15):
That feels great for the fans to be involved. We
got to win. We know that.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
So we're just going to continue to get better and
try to do that a lot more often.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
How much does they do for a team when it's
a guy they wants contacted?
Speaker 1 (02:29):
He wins almost every battle, especially up front.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
He gets those dirty yards and if it's not clean,
he's going to squeeze out an extra two or three yards.
And that's that's good for offense. Because we're playing the green,
we can skip third downs and as an offense algnment
you want to run the.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Ball and when he's running like that, we're going to
be it a lot.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Their physical on the field and that's been a factor,
but like, what about how they act off the field?
He got cam like hyping guys up, slapping them in
the face, Like is that rare for a rookie?
Speaker 1 (02:55):
In your opinion, I would say it just goes back
to their mindset.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
They just love ball. They're not really focused or concerned
about how old they are and how many games they've
been there. It's just they love football. They're passionate about it.
They're gonna play their tails off and they're gonna bring
guys with them.
Speaker 4 (03:11):
Contributions from you know, from guys like Little Jordan and
from Jalen, you know, with other wide receivers down Max.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
And miser Opportunity. Those guys came in and did a
great job for us. We needed that. They stepped up,
and that's that's the way the NFL
